Abstract
In this paper using a cross sectional data of 210 selected farmers of Khorasan Razavi province in 2009 by stratified random sampling method tried to provide a practical framework to firms of agricultural machinery technology production so that using it's plan for sale leasing to answer the actual needs and lack of agricultural exploitation. Results showed that in high-price technologies group, tractor has first priority and the next priority is for combine. In technology groups of medium-price, broadcast seeder and chopper have first and second priority, respectively. In low price technology groups, plow, disk and subsoiler are in first to third ranks, respectively. In three technologies set, tractor allocated the highest demand and then its implement instruments have the highest demand. Therefore, in planning sale leasing, tractor and its mounted implement instruments, broadcast seeder, chopper and combine should be in the initial targeting and other applications considered in the next targeting. On the other hands, public and private machinery sector must focused on sale planning to fast delivery of agricultural machinery technology demand, interest rate lower than 10 percent, individual bonds, the domestic production technology and annual repayment installments. Subsidy participation of government in relation with interest rate premium requested for leasing companies and agricultural exploiters can help to process formation of this industry in agriculture sector and ultimately effective demand of farmers for these technologies.
